Agkistrodon piscivorus conanti
aquatic environments, cypress flats and wet prairies, and throughout the swamp in general.
From the much larger size and darker color this was an older snake than the one I saw a few days before on the same trail. This one was also more inclined to live up to it's name by opening its mouth in a defensive threat posture. Don't worry the pictures are thanks to zoom and cropping; I wasn't that close. Love the copper/metallic looking eye. Here is the younger snake from a few days prior: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/212...
